    Summary

    I don’t know if I can protect all of you, he thinks, not for the first time – and it terrifies him and it enrages him.

    This is what happens, Essek supposes, when you end up caring for people.

    (In which the Mighty Nein come to Rosohna, carrying a dead Assembly member and a death mark from the Empire - and asking for Essek's protection.)

    Summary

    ‘Essek,’ Caleb says, very quietly. ‘Are you telling me that you went into this fight convinced you would never get up if you went down?’

    Essek places a hand over the centre of his chest, the place where Lucien’s blade hit. The place where Jester’s diamond shattered. ‘Yes.’

    (In the battle with the Tombtakers, Essek falls. His friends bring him back. And each of them has a request to make of him.)

    Summary

    It has been so long since Essek has heard from the Mighty Nein that he is starting to wonder if they have forgotten about him. It's fine, he tells himself, he doesn't need the company.

    Until Jester messages him, however, and Essek finds out just how much he is needed.

    Summary

    There are certain things that an Umavi's son should not do, if he wishes to avoid his mother's rage and the disgust of his Den.

    Dancing with a human is most certainly among them.

    Summary

    In the privacy of his own head, Essek marveled at the family the Mighty Nein had found in each other. A handful of people, seemingly with very little in common, and they had forged their own path, together.
    The problem with that strong sense of family the Mighty Nein shared, though, was how incredibly difficult it was to get someone on their own. Such as Caleb, to pick a completely random example.

    (or, Essek really just wants a minute of privacy with Caleb. It takes a lot of trial, and even more error.)
